Six years ago my husband and I left central Illinois for paradise and started our living our dream. Now it's time for me to help you live your Maui Dream!

It's a simple story. For our 25th wedding anniversary, we planned a once in a lifetime trip to Maui, Hawaii. It sounded wonderful to us. "Going to Maui!" makes you smile just saying it!

When we arrived on the island, we immediately fell in love. Not sure if it was the lingering sweet smells in the air, the abundance of sunshine with a cool breeze, or the amazing views of mountains, beaches, rainforests, flowers, birds, whales, turtles, rainbows, and sunsets. The list goes on and on! Most importantly is the sense of community (Aloha) and the love of the land (Aina) which is shared throughout our beautiful island.

By day three of our ten-day trip, we looked at each other at dinner and realized we could live here. Of course, this was in February and who couldn't envision a life on the island after dealing with the snow and ice on the mainland?

After our wonderful trip, we were in the beginning stages of building a new home on undeveloped farm land. We had a contractor working on the plans. Checking my emails in May, I saw the cutest condo right on the beach, which was even in the very area we loved so much in Maui. The contractor was also ready to break ground and wanted to set a date. I told my husband about the condo, and we decided to fly back to Maui to look at the condo. We found a realtor and were shown 11 properties total. The last property we visited instantly felt like home, and we fell in love. Our offer was accepted. We downsized and sold or donated most of our material goods. We shipped our remaining possessions along with our car to Maui.

Our friends and family thought we lost our minds; except we knew we had made the best decision of our lives. It was time start living our dream. There's been no looking back. We love Maui and our island lifestyle.

Now my dream is to help make other's dreams come true. Contact me today. I would love to help you make your Maui dream a reality!
